Date night....Well since I am no longer married this would be for a sit down. I like to keep things simple but want my personality to come through. I'm really in to accessories now so I included a heart necklace and multi colored bangles from The Souq. The hijab is from LaDecence, I really like it because it incorporates so many colors. This overgarment is another one from Tawanda Mackey over at Overgarments (dot)com. This garment is A lined and has elastic sleeves. I can wear it year round and that's what I love about it. What do you wear out with your zawj? What would you wear on a sit down or chaperoned event? Check out the ladies from HFW here.

(Any style rule may be broken, except the Islamic criteria for hijab).Day 4 -- Vacation/Destination: Where would you go, if you could go anywhere in the world?

Today we showcase EID. Both EIDs for me were really great. Lots of family time and seeing people you don't normally see on a day to day basis. I even got henna for the 2nd EID.

This abaya was made buy Tawanda Mackey from fabric I picked up in Philly over the summer. It is a 3/4 length and I wear it with a cardigan. The Hijab is a pink drape scarf from Pearl Daisy. The headband was from Forever 21.
